Can the Nitrogen and Carbon Stable Isotopes of the Pygmy Mussel, Xenostrobus Securis, Indicate Catchment Disturbance for Estuari
Estuaries Vol. 28, No. 5, p. 714–725 October 2005 Can the Nitrogen and Carbon Stable Isotopes of the Pygmy Mussel, Xenostrobus securis, Indicate Catchment Disturbance for Estuaries in Northern New South Wales, Australia? STEPHANIE K. MOORE* and IAIN M. SUTHERS Fisheries and Marine Environmental Research Laboratory, School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales 2052, Australia ABSTRACT: The nitrogen and carbon stable isotope ratios (d15N and d13C) of the pygmy mussel, Xenostrobus securis, were determined for three estuaries with varying levels of catchment disturbance in northern New South Wales, Australia. The lower Manning River catchment supported the highest human population densities and 3% residential development with some livestock agriculture (41%); the Wallamba River catchment was mostly livestock agriculture (56%) while the Wallingat River catchment was mostly vegetated (79%). Mussels, estuarine particulate organic matter (POM), and livestock and human- derived waste were collected in two stages during the austral summers of 2001–2002 and 2002–2003 for dual carbon-nitrogen stable isotope analysis. The disturbed Manning and Wallamba River catchment mussels were enriched in 15N by an average of 3.2% and 1.5%, respectively, compared to the vegetated Wallingat River mussels. Mussel d13C values ranged from 224.8% to 230.3% and showed an estuarine gradient becoming enriched with distance downstream within estuaries, but were unable to distinguish patterns in catchment disturbance between estuaries. The d15N and d13C values of POM showed a similar pattern to mussels, indicating a direct link between them within each estuary. A multiple regression model of mussel d15N using the fractions of land used for livestock agriculture and residential development within 5 km zones from river networks to a distance equivalent to a tidal ellipse from sites explained 67% of the variation in mussel d15N with 95% of the differences lying within 1.6% of observed values.

Hello members and friends. I am pleased and privileged to have been elected president of AGSHV Inc. for 2016. This is an exciting challenge to be chosen for this role. Hopefully I have followed on from where Brian has left off as he has left big shoes to fill. Brian and Leonie decided to relinquish their long held posts as President and Treasurer (respectively) after many years of unquestionable service to our society, which might I say, was carried out with great efficiency and grace. They have set a high standard. Thank you Brian and Leonie. We also welcomed a new Vice President, Richard Bale and new Treasurer John Hyslop. Although change has come to the executive committee the drive for excellence has not been diminished. Brian is still very involved with organising and running activities as if nothing has changed. The “What Rock Is That” teaching day Brian and Ron conducted (which ended up running over 2 days) at Brian’s home was an outstanding success. Everyone had samples of rocks, with Brian and Ron explaining the processes involved in how these rocks would have formed, and how to identify each sample, along with copious written notes and diagrams.

The History of the Worimi People by Mick Leon
The History of the Worimi People By Mick Leon The Tobwabba story is really the story of the original Worimi people from the Great Lakes region of coastal New South Wales, Australia. Before contact with settlers, their people extended from Port Stephens in the south to Forster/Tuncurry in the north and as far west as Gloucester. The Worimi is made up of several tribes; Buraigal, Gamipingal and the Garawerrigal. The people of the Wallis Lake area, called Wallamba, had one central campsite which is now known as Coomba Park. Their descendants, still living today, used this campsite 'til 1843. The Wallamba had possibly up to 500 members before white contact was made. The middens around the Wallis Lake area suggest that food from the lake and sea was abundant, as well as wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, waterfowl and fruit bats. Fire was an important feature of life, both for campsites and the periodic 'burning ' of the land. The people now number less than 200 and from these families, in the main, come the Tobwabba artists. In their work, they express images of their environment, their spiritual beliefs and the life of their ancestors. The name Tobwabba means 'a place of clay' and refers to a hill on which the descendants of the Wallamba now have their homes. They make up a 'mission' called Cabarita with their own Land Council to administer their affairs. Aboriginal History of the Great Lakes District The following extract is provided courtesy of Great Lakes Council (Narelle Marr, 1997): In 1788 there were about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.

Part I General Geology
1 PART I GENERAL GEOLOGY GENERAL GEOLOGY Chapter 1 Introduction The areadescribed in this thesis, covering about 1500 square miles of the southern New England Tableland, lies within the Central Complex of north- eastern New South Wales, (Voisey, 1959), a belt of strongly deformed Palaeozoic sediments invaded by granitic intrusions of predominantly Permian age (see Fig. 1). Two major subdivisions have been made within the regionally metamorphosed rocks of this area, (see Map 1). Multi-folded, poly-metamorphosed rocks, herein named the Tia Complex underly a major portion of the area. These are intruded by a relatively small foliated pluton, the Tia Granodiorite, which occupies a more or less central position within these metamorphosed rocks and belongs to the Hillgrove Plutonic Suite of Binns et al (1967). In this respect the Tia Complex resembles the Wongwibinda Complex (Binns, 1966) lying some 70 miles to the north-north east. The other major subdivision consisting of sheared greywackes, slates and quartzites with some basic lavas occupies the area north-east and east of the Tia Complex.
